Q.		How much Green House Gases does an average idling truck emit into our environment and at what level in GHG’s do fuel fired heaters and APU’s offset this?

An idling truck emits on average approx. 124.44 tonnes/yr of CO2 into
our atmosphere, this number is based on a conservative truck idling
1,200 hrs/year for heat. A bunk heater can cut GHG emissions by 12 to 15
tonnes annually and APU's can reduce GHG emissions by 16-19 tonnes.
